A Walk in the Spring Rain [HD]

The pairing of Bergman and Quinn
I must disagree with what Maltin wrote in his summary, about expecting much more from the cast. I think Bergman and Quinn did a fine job with the script that they were given. The pace was a bit slow in certain scenes, but that was the whole idea, since most of the story was taking place in the Tennessee mountains where everything is quite and serene. When the title indicated that Bergman was paired off with Quinn for this drama, I wasn't certain if Quinn would be the best match to act opposite Ingrid. However, after watching the entire movie, one gets to realize that he was perfect for the role and appreciate him even more. And even if I took a wild guess now, I wouldn't be able to pick a different actor that could portray Will Cade better than Quinn did. I highly recommend viewers to give this movie a chance.

Wonderful Movie
This is one of my very favourite movies. A passionate love story between 50-somethings? Very rare and done very convincingly and memorably in this film. The end is disappointing but that's life. This movie really captured my heart and soul -- very well directed and acted. Unique. WHEN WILL IT BE AVAILABLE ON DVD PLEASE?!?

Not What I Expected....
After reading the video box description of this movie, I expected to find a bored wife of an ego-maniac college professor bore finding her true love at long last. What one discovers early in the movie, however, is that Fritz Weaver, her husband, is no ego-maniac, and certainly does not ignore or neglect his wife, even while working on his book. In fact, the idea that Anthony Quinn was finally offering Ingrid Bergman true love ended up seeming quite laughable to me. Her marriage was closer to "true love" than her affair with a mountain man in Tennessee, in my opinion.

And casting Anthony Quinn as a Tennessee native also ended up seeming laughable to me. I'm guessing the only reason he was casted as such, was because anyone who actually seemed like a real Tennessee mountain man, would in no way on God's earth attract the likes of Ingrid Bergman!

Ingrid Bergman was bored...probably more from being stuck in the role of a college professor's wife, always on school...
